After graduating from the University of Miami’s Law School, he founded Harris Law Firm to serve the community by meeting the needs of individuals and businesses.

Harris honored his mentor by establishing the legal offices of William J. Brown Legacy Center, the new home of Harris Law Firm. Robert says he strives to give the best legal advice to those seeking counsel for workplace discrimination, civil rights violations, breach of contract, business fraud, fiduciary/agency disputes, business torts and other commercial matters. He is proud of his successful work representing plaintiffs and defendants, especially complex insurance and reinsurance litigation involving international parties with cases involving Lloyd’s of London Syndicates and brokers.

Mr. Harris is passionate about being a lawyer and believes in the value of forging strong relationships with clients in order to achieve a positive outcome. Robert Harris has won major judgments in favor of his clients, specifically those involving claims of discrimination, retaliation, and harassment in the workplace.
